Late Wednesday Afternoon Falcon Watch – First Day of Spring – 3/20/13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
I only had a little over an hour to watch tonight and I spent most of it watching Beauty on the Times Square Bldg. After searching for her and not finding her, I parked on the Andrews St Bridge. From there I had a great view of the south side of the buildings. At approximately 4:20 pm, Beauty flew up to the Times Square Bldg landing on the base of the SE wing. She either had food with her or she retrieved cached food up there, because she was eating.
By the time I made my way back over to the Broad St Bridge and parked my car, Beauty had finished her snack and was sitting out on the edge of the wing ledge.
Joyce and Brian joined me for awhile. They had just come from the BS location where they saw both Pigott & Dot.ca. Beauty was actively looking around, but she did not move from her spot during the hour I was there. I saw no other falcons.
In fact, since UT has been gone and Dot.ca returned to Rochester, I have seen multiple falcons, but I have not seen any aggression at all during my late afternoon watches.
Kathy O and Joyce were on watch after I left and they continued to see Pigott and Dot.ca out at the BS location and Beauty downtown. No battles were reported.
All was quiet at both locations.
I’ll leave you with some pictures of Beauty on the TSB I took during my watch this afternoon. Goodnight and happy first day of spring everyone!

Hi, I love seeing it all on facebook. Keep the good work up. can’t wait to see the babies. I moved to St Bernard’s Apartments and there is a flock of wild turkeys here. I love seeing them almost every day, and I leave for work.
